Tomorrow's inaugural Classic Hits Winery Tour at Waitiri
Creek Winery, in Gibbston, is shaping up to be a sellout
affair, with organisers predicting a last-minute rush of ticket
sales.
Winery manager Jason Moss said more than half the 3000
tickets available had sold for the event, which is now in its
seventh year, but being held at Waitiri Creek for the first
time.
''It's exciting really. It's going to be great.''
Gates would open at 5pm, with New Zealand's Got Talent winner
Clara van Wel getting the show started before headline acts
Fat Freddy's Drop, Anika Boh & Hollie and The Adults,
featuring Jon Toogood, Julia Deans and Shayne Carter, would
take to the stage.
Mr Moss said concert goers were welcome to bring ''low-lying
seats'' or picnic blankets to sit on and could also bring
their own food into the venue.
However, no glass bottles, alcohol, professional cameras or
recording devices could be brought in.
At the concert a range of refreshments would be available to
buy.
Parking would be provided on-site. Alternatively, buses would
leave from the Pig'n Whistle at 4pm, picking up at
Goldfields, the Frankton bus shelter, Lake Hayes Corner and
Arrow Junction on the way to the concert.
The buses would leave from the main entrance at Waitiri Creek
at 10.15pm.
Buses cost $35 per person, or $110 per person for bus
transport and a concert ticket.
Gate sales would also be available tomorrow, tickets costing
$85 per adult.
